We had a similar discussion on the OmniWeb Objective-C mailing list not to
long ago.  I was all for it, being an Objective-C newbie myself.  But the
problem is that you can spread a list too thin, thus loosing more
information than you generate.  And a newbie list would have to be
moderated/monitored by gurus, spreading them thiner.  The best answer is
just to keep the original list very open to newbie questions, and to try to
consolidate newbie questions into FAQs whenever possible.

Hello all.

Insert usual Ruby kudos here.

I have been hesitant to post my newbie ruby questions to this list.  I
have, of course, searched the archives and wikis and found much useful
stuff.

My point is that a Ruby mailing list for blatantly novice questions
seems to be in order.

Any thoughts?

Peace,
Mike Pence
